It fit perfect, it was flattering in the areas of my body I'm a little self conscious about. It was a little warm towards the end of the night, but dancing will do that :) I got compliments all night and felt great in it!

This dress was amazing!!

everything about it was perfect - I am 6' tall and it was long enough for me. the fabric is luxurious and the top fits nice and snug so the "off the shoulders" look stays in place.

Va-va-vooom!

I wore this dress on my recent honeymoon cruise for the last formal night. It fit like a glove - literally! Definitely a candidate for wearing a smoothing undergarment. Otherwise, the arms were a snug fit, but not too tight. I went up about 2 sizes, luckily! For anyone over 5'7" I would definitely recommend getting the long size or another size up -- unfortunately this was the last size left for me, and the hem barely touched the top of my feet (I wore flats).

Perfect Formal Gown

I odered a 6R and an 8R and the 6R would even zip up. I completely underestimated my size. I called the next morning and had a 10R and a 12R shipped out and received it the following afternoon. The 10R fit okay, was a bit snug on my chest since I'm a 38DDD. I tried on the 12R and it was comfortable draped alot around the bodice and sleeve, but I was okay with that since it didn't look at all too tight on my bust. I held the train up stairs and on the street, but while in the venue I was able to walk withour holding it. I wore 6" platform gold heels and the length was perfect. I love this dress and would rent it again.

This dress was beautiful and very comfortable.

I rented this dress for my engagement photos. I ended taking most of my pictures with a red cape over it as it was wintertime, but the dress was elegant and fit like a glove. Because I have thick arms I opted to wear the size 10, but I do believe it runs true to size. I would rent this dress again in a heartbeat.

Different from everything else in the room.

The dress ran large in my opinion contrary to other folks opinion. I should of went a size down for it to fit me the way it fit the model. Also, the boning was coming out of the sides which stuck me on and off all night. It was beautiful overall though. I loved showing my shoulders while being more covered on my arms. The process with RTR was incredible. I knew where my package was at all times and sending it back was a breeze. I will definitely rent again!

Comfortable and Figure Flattering

Although I should have gone with a 6R, I chose the 8R because I'm a few months postpartum and not quite fitting into my old dress size. However, this dress was a little droopier on me than I would have liked. The material is kind of heavy, but very comfortable. I LOVED the sleeves. The rouching made it very figure flattering. I received MANY compliments. I would absolutely rent this again.

Very classy gown with perfect fit!

I wore this sexy yet classy gown for a Charity Ball event for the Children's Home of Northern Kentucky! The length and measurements of this gown were true to sizing measurements. The boning in the torso that gives this dress the flatter shape does make it fit tightly, so if you're not sure on sizing definitely go a size up. Loved this gown!

Amazing dress but a few flaws

This dress was rented as my backup style for a black tie wedding. I wore the other style dress for 2 reasons - first, there was some very well-placed boning in the breast area of the dress that really accentuated the dress's shape... except... it was only in my backup size (10R) that was too big for me; someone may have cut it out of the one I would have liked to wear (8R). Secondly, it had a pretty bad odor, however I think if I had hung it up in an open doorway for 24 hours or so, it would have aired out. I actually liked this dress well enough to try ordering it again (and hope for a clean one with the boning still in place). It's an elegant design that felt really glamorous on, and it's SO RARE to find a great dress with sleeves that isn't too matronly. I LOVE dresses with sleeves! It also had a textured band around the top inside that kept it perfectly in place on my shoulders, no matter how much I moved around. I also wanted to note that the size 10R was the perfect length with a 4" heel (I'm 5'5.5") however I would have had to find a shorter heel for the 8R. It was right at 2 inches shorter than the 10.

Deciding on whether to wear this one to the event.

Fit perfectly and looked really nice! Had no issues with back fat bulges and the fabric helped camouflage any areas I would consider problematic. Fit on the bust and hips like a glove. I wore a steel boned corset under it and it made the dress 10 times sexier! This is a definite contender for my event!

Very flattering design

I rented this dress for a formal wedding. It is very flattering and I received many, many compliments. The fabric is black jersey with some stretch and the length was perfect for me (5'6" with 4" heels). However, there were two issues: 1) if you are alone , there is absolutely no way to zip this - and even with help, the zipper is very tough to move, and 2) the boning was sticking out everywhere (kind of like little black wire fish bones), so I was being stabbed all evening. I ended up with bruises and tiny punctures all over my torso as a result. I cannot even imagine what it would have been like if I hadn't worn spanx to cover certain areas. With that said, I think it may have just been a dress that is on its last leg and I notified RTR about the issue, so hopefully it will be remedied. Other than that, it is a great dress and very flattering.

Comfortable and Simply Elegant

Simply designed gown, the fit was nice. The material was heavy and hung loosely, which made me feel like the dress was sliding down. I should have ordered a 0P as my second size, to make the bodice slightly tighter and shorter. Overall very comfortable!

The dress was great for this Gala!

I wore 4 inch heels and they went perfectly with the dress, it was long enough to work well together. Tons of compliments. Don't go crazy bra shopping, it worked fine with a regular bra, I pulled the sleeves up a little. The fit was tight but the dress is very stretchy so it isn't snug. It looks a bit more flattering on the model though. I felt that I looked like a littler matronly in it, I'm 5'8" and 130lbs.

I got non stop compliments!

The fit was great, I ordered both the 18WR and 20WR, The 18 fit but the 20 was more comfortable. It was flattering in all the right places, the rouching hid all my tummy problem areas and accentuated my "assets." I do have to say that if you are small chested it may not fit perfectly. I typically am a B and it didn't look quite right so I ended up wearing a padded bra. I got the regular length because I knew I wanted to wear flat shoes, It was a good length for that but I feel it would have been much too short with heels. Also there is a little bit of a train in the back (not huge but it did get stepped on a couple times on the dance floor) so keep that in mind. This was my first time ordering from RTR and it worked out perfectly. Hope this review helps!

I wanted a long gown that would cover my tummy and this dress was perfect! My arms are always another issue and are usually too big to fit into a dress my size. I usually wear 14 but the dress couldn't zip up and my arms couldn't fit but 16 dress fit me perfect all around.

I was planning to wear this too a formal charity event, but didn't end up using it.

Loved this dress, but it just didn't fit my body well. It is form fitting - the ruching helps, but I have a smaller chest, so the "curvy" look just doesn't do well on me.

Elegant and a great fit

Rented this for a formal gala I had to attend for work and it was perfect!! I rented both the 12 and 14 Long, I wound up wearing the 12 and it fit perfectly. I'm 5'10" and found that while the front was a little short the back was longer and even in 4" heels I had to hold the skirt to walk across the room--not to mention up and down stairs. Its a great dress for someone like me--I'm small in the bust and much larger in the waist/hips--but this dress looked great on me, I got a lot of compliments!!

Pros:
Great for a petite, slightly hourglass figure like mine. I like showing off décolletage and back over legs and arms because the risk of taking a bad photo is close to zilch!
Black is a great color for everyone, obviously. This is also a timeless design.
Cons:
The wires inside the bust poked me all night and made me uncomfortable. I had to fold some fabric in to protect my skin from getting scratched.
The weather for the May black tie wedding I attended in Detroit was 75 and sunny -- not expected given a recent cold spell! I was a little overheated during the outdoor ceremony and until the sun started to drop but then it was great when it cooled down at night. The reception was indoor-outdoor.
All in all, glad I rented this dress!

didn't end up wearing the dress

the fit was still too small for my body even if I ordered up. i think my shoulders may have been too broad for this dress. the R was also not as long as i would have liked. I normally order a 6, but in this case I ordered an 8, but I should have gotten a 10, and perhaps it would have been a better fit.

The dress fit like a glove. It was perfection. And customer service at RTR, once again, rocked it!

I ordered a 6R and 8R based on other reviews and they both were ridiculously long. I called customer service and they overnighted another dress in petite. It fit perfectly. I'm 5'4 and 130. I wore very high heels. The petite fit exactly the same as the regular...just shorter in length. It was perfect. I wore a padded strapless bra underneath (34C) but could easily have gone without a bra. I also wore Spanx and I'm very glad I did. It's a tight dress but very flattering. Love this dress and I would love to rent it again!

I ordered last minute and got a 2L and 4R. Ended up wearing the 4R. They were both the same length but the materials were different on each dress. The 4R material was thicker and felt like it was higher quality. Overall, very satisfied with my first RTR experience! Will definitely rent again.

My event was the 70th anniversary Miss NH Pageant, and I attended as a previous titleholder.

This dress was the winner for my big night! It was my second size choice, and I am glad I went up a size since the top is (nicely) snug. The fit on this dress is excellent. There is some boning in the top which adds to the security of wearing it with a strapless bra (or on its own without one) and gives it a little more shape. I was concerned about the strapless style and the off-the-shoulder sleeves, as I have not had any luck with this style due to my bust size. But after reading ALL the reviews and looking closely at ALL the photos, I was willing to go with it, and am I glad I did. Once you zip this dress up, the bodice and sleeves just sort of hug you, and it feels very secure. My only concern was the snugness of the sleeves and if it might restrict the movement of my arms. But I was able to raise my arms to wave, so that concern was moot. The ruching over the midsection is very flattering and forgiving. It is very comfortable to wear, and I didn’t want to take it off at the end of the night. The jersey-type fabric is also soft on the skin and flows nicely. The petite length was perfect for me at 5’4” with 2” heels. I always have to raise the hem on evening wear, but not with this length. I put it on and was out the door to my event. The fabric also does not clash with any type of jewelry as it is plain black, so you can dress it up as much as you want. I tried it on with matte gold and silver jewelry, but decided the formality of the pageant event called for more bling. All my jewelry worked with this dress. I highly recommend it for anyone no matter your body shape and size.

Classic, elegant, and comfortable!

I rented this dress as a back up for my birthday - I fell madly in love as soon as I put it on. It is so flattering and formal, but I never felt uncomfortable during a long night out with my fam. I am both busty and hippy, and this dress fit like a dream - and the front details detract from any tummy issues you may have. I did wear a pretty stiff corset underneath to ensure smooth lines as well, but I doubt it was actually necessary. I would definitely rent it again!

Classic and sexy- what more could a girl want?

Glad I read the reviews on this dress- I ordered the long at 5'7" and it was the perfect length. Because of the short train and forgiving fabric I could've pulled off a short heel but ended up wearing 4" ones. I debated for awhile between this dress and another I rented in lace. I'm so happy I chose this one. No one else had anything like it. I got compliments all night and it was very comfortable to wear. It was also a church wedding- so it was easy to just throw on a wrap at the church to feel covered enough. I ordered both the 6l and 8l and ended up wearing the 6l.
